1.5 lbs heavier, most definitely stronger, disappointingly less effective looking cooling fins.

Thanks for posting the side by side. I guess I'll be getting 3 of these soon. One for each gear ratio. Due to the location of the weight, I'm not worried about the extra 1.5 lbs.

Looks like there are at least two different designs... the one that Bob posted with the cast in triangulation and then this one. The top side looks pretty much the same as Bob's. Either one should work fine, yes?

... I have already determined the inner CV’s wear out fairly rapidly. About half a season and the balls imbed themselves into the outer cup and they start developing lots of slop. I suspect Mazdaspeed axles would fix that.
I have no idea if the tripod joint has a higher torque capacity, but the guys at Taylor probably do. |

I can guarantee the CVs used on the MSM axles won't do that, if only because they don't have any balls in their CVs. The MSM uses tripods.

Problem is the Mazdaspeed Axles won’t fit the OS-Giken or my spare Torsen that I currently have. so besides the cost of the axles it’s an expensive swap. I'm pretty sure the tripoids will handle torque better. I haven't blown any axles up yet but the noticeable wear and sloppiness they develop has me replacing them every season.
